I bought my Robinhood in May this year. When I drove it home (about 60 miles) I had trouble because of old gas. I got rid of that gas and replaced the fuel filter and it's been running great. I took it to the gas station the other day (total trip 4 miles)and it did fine going there, but on the way home it died on me when I slowed to make the turn into my driveway. I restarted it and drove it in, slowed, backed up and turned it, all was fine, then it died again just as I arrived in its parking spot. Any ideas on what I should be looking at? Some more info that might help. It is usually pretty easy to start. I don't need to give it gas or anything. As of late, the choke? is sticking when the engine is cold. My hubby has to open it and hold the flap closed and then it will start right up. Without doing that it won't start. After it's warmed up, I can turn it back on without any trouble.

Here's the thing. I know very little about RV's. I've had it since May and have been tinkering. My husband knows even less since he's relying on my limited knowledge. He saw the valve and said "oh, what's this" and released some pressure. Now it's lopsided lol. How do I find out if the chassis is a 77 or 78?

Ii need to figure out how to post pictures. Mine is just like yours! Same colors. Those are the air valves I'm talking about. Thanks! Any tips for me that you've learned on yours?

New question. I know this is going to sound stupid, but this is my first RV and I have no manuals. I'm sure these have to do with leveling the RV (1978 Robinhood, Dodge chassis Class C) but what do I do with those small air release valves on the back (no, not the ones on the tires :))? If I let air out, where do I put it back in? What are they exactly? Thanks, Stephanie168Views0likes0CommentsRe: How many of us are there? Owners of Dodge based RV's?
Hi Everyone! New here with a 1978 Robinhood. We're in the process of refurbishing her and so far it's been a lot of fun. I've really enjoyed this thread. It's been quite informative. I didn't get any manauls or anything, and this is my first RV, so I've had to learn most of it the hard way (for example, not knowing right away to plug in for the genset to power the house - thought the genset or house electrical wasn't working right - boy did I feel "smart" when I realized the problem :) I know I have a lot more to learn, so keep the good advice coming! Nice to meet you all! ~Stephanie320Views0likes0Comments
